A Carrolltown man was sentenced to
three to six years in jail and 10
years of probation Wednesday after
admitting to setting at least five
house fires in Cambria County.
Gary Bassett Jr. of the 100 block of
Wysocki Road, pleaded guilty in October
to five counts of arson. The fires
happened last year between March and
July in West Carroll and Barr townships.
About 20 people attended the sentencing
at the Cambria County Courthouse.
One woman read a statement from her
elderly mother, who lived in one of the
homes that burned down.
